I got around this by having the program send data to a php script that would save to a file on the server. This method has the added advantage that users can play the saved game from any computer. This method has the downside that it increases data transfers and space used on the server.

that was nearly the reason of my previous question for user specific data save to server is not that bad : client side you only have to put a cookie with a unique ID and serverside save data linked to this ID.

If it used JFileChooser, it's unusable. You can't even properly navigate through directories with it. A double-click will make you rename the directory, a single click will select it, and hitting ENTER will not open it, but return it as the result. see this thread, or use google

After all these years, Sun has never been able to reproduce this bug -- and amazingly, sometimes it all works, but heck... it's unusable to let end users play with it - it's quite often that I can't traverse any directory.

So let's hope it uses java.awt.FileDialog but that's rather unlikely...

It does indeed appear to use the standard JFileChooser dialog. I haven't had much trouble with it myself, except for being painful trying to navigate to folders on a different drive to the current one.

well if you guys want to know why I am not googling this/ testing to find my own way.

for starters:

I did try and use muffins . The thing is that it just wont handle the amount of data that I am looking for.

For seconds:

I am doing pre-emptive research, I am not at the point in my game where I am pressing for this to be done. So I ask here, and save myself the time googling. And in that saved time, work on the other stuff I need to be doing to get to that point where it is pressing.
